Alzheimer's disease often begins with memory loss. But as the disease gets worse, it can cause many other mental, emotional, and physical problems. Here are some ways to deal with the problems that your loved one with Alzheimer's may face.

If you’re caring for someone with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, you may have noticed big changes in how they act in the late afternoon or early evening. Doctors call it sundowning, or sundown syndrome.

Sometimes, people with Alzheimer’s disease lash out for no clear reason. Aggression may be a symptom of Alzheimer’s disease itself. If your loved one becomes aggressive, it’s important to remember that she isn’t doing it on purpose. There are also things you can do to make her feel better and keep outbursts from happening.

Some Alzheimer’s treatments involve medications. Others are non-medical Alzheimer’s therapies like art, music, and more. The goal of an Alzheimer’s therapy is to help the person maintain a better quality of life.
